1 General Design Bachelor programme subjects

Design theory and history, visual culture, composition and colour, form and space, design methods and research, creative thinking, project development, professional ethics, interdisciplinary collaboration, professional practice, and the final thesis/project.

2 Digital Design specialisation subjects

Digital design modules include UX/UI design, interaction design, prototyping, user research, product design, design systems, motion design, front-end fundamentals, and digital strategy. Students learn to create user-friendly digital products — from research and concept development to the final prototype.

International applicants to the Digital Design programme are required to pass a remote entrance examination. The examination is intended to assess the applicant’s creativity, visual and digital thinking, technical skills, motivation, and readiness to study the chosen programme.

The entrance examination consists of two parts: portfolio assessment and a motivational interview, conducted online via Microsoft Teams.

Portfolio Requirements

The portfolio should present approximately 10–15 of your strongest creative works and demonstrate your creativity, digital design skills, visual thinking, and individual creative process.

We encourage applicants to include:

• digital design projects;
• UI/UX and interface design;
• website or mobile application design;
• digital illustrations;
• motion graphics and animation;
• 3D design, modelling, or visualisation;
• interactive or multimedia projects;
• digital branding and visual identity;
• social media and digital communication design;
• experimental digital work;
• photography, video, or mixed-media projects;
• personal creative projects;
• any other visual or digital work relevant to Digital Design.

The portfolio should contain original work and, whenever possible, demonstrate how projects developed from the initial idea to the final result.

Applicants are therefore encouraged to include:

• initial sketches and ideas;
• wireframes and early interface concepts;
• mood boards and visual research;
• storyboards;
• drafts and alternative design versions;
• work-in-progress materials;
• screenshots or screen recordings of the development process;
• prototypes;
• different stages or iterations of a project;
• final designs and their applications.

For each project, applicants are encouraged to briefly explain:

• What was the idea or concept behind the project?
• What was the purpose of the design?
• Who was the intended user or audience?
• How did the initial idea develop into the final result?
• Which techniques, tools, or software were used?
• What was your individual contribution if the project was created as part of a team?
• Why were particular creative, visual, technical, or interaction design decisions made?

Original and Editable Project Files

Applicants may be asked to provide original or editable source files for selected projects included in their portfolio in order to demonstrate authorship and their individual creative process.

These may include files or editable projects created using software such as Figma, Adobe Photoshop (PSD), Adobe Illustrator (AI), Adobe After Effects (AEP), Adobe Premiere Pro (PRPROJ), Blender (BLEND) or other digital design, animation, 3D, prototyping, or multimedia software.

Applicants may also be asked to provide editable files with layers, Figma project files or prototypes, earlier versions, working files, screenshots or screen recordings of the development process, sketches, wireframes, storyboards, or other source materials demonstrating how the submitted work was developed.

All submitted work must be the applicant’s own original work. Portfolios may be reviewed for authenticity, including checks for AI-generated content or other forms of unauthorised assistance. Applicants must be able to explain how their work was created, including the creative process, techniques, software, and design decisions involved.

If AI-based tools were used as part of the creative process, applicants should be prepared to clearly explain where and how they were used and distinguish AI-assisted elements from their own original work.

If additional verification of the applicant’s skills or authorship is required, the College reserves the right to assign an additional individual creative or design task, which may be completed under specified conditions and/or during a live online session.

Motivational Interview

During the motivational interview, the applicant’s motivation, creative interests, understanding of Digital Design, previous experience, and readiness to study the programme are assessed.

The applicant will also be asked to present and discuss selected projects from their portfolio, including their concepts, sources of inspiration, design and development process, techniques and software used, and the reasoning behind their creative and technical decisions.

Applicants should therefore be prepared to present their own work in detail and demonstrate a clear understanding of how each submitted project was developed from the initial idea to the final result.

Full-time studies – EUR 5,700 per year.

Graduates of the Digital Design study programme can work as UI/UX designers, digital product designers, interaction designers, interactive media creators, motion designers, data visualisation specialists, AR/VR/XR experience designers, and creators of generative and AI-assisted design projects.

The acquired competencies enable graduates to work in creative agencies, technology companies, start-ups, digital product, advertising, communication, and interactive media sectors, as well as to pursue independent creative practice.
